How does physics relate to cancer?

[mizz_melanie]

Example: Radiation to detect and treat cancer. That's particle physics

Do you guys have any more ideas?

Thanks for your help! :)

You could look at proton beam therapy.
Is this for a project?

A new area of research at Lancaster University is to look at how different systems in the body oscillate together. A new area of research at Lancaster University is to look at how different systems in the body oscilate together.

If you expand the section starting Oscillations in the body:

It expalains what some of these systems are. I think the research is about how these systems couple and how we use changes to detect disease.
